Firefighters are looking to give the boot to Muscular Dystrophy.

Austin are taking the initiative this week from 3 to 7 p.m., Wednesday to Friday, in an effort to raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

They will stand in the streets of four local intersections and ask motorists to help fill a boot with money, with proceeds going to sponsor health care services, equipment support, summer camps and research projects for local residents suffering with neuromuscular diseases.

On Wednesday and Thursday, they will stand at the intersections of 4th St. and 1st Dr. NW and 14th St. and 8th Ave. NW and in front of the fire station. On Friday, they will also stand at the intersection of 8th Ave. and 8th St. NE.

Last year’s campaign raised about $13,400.
